A cure of an obsession is another obsession/Vinyl and Turntable
I must admit that I am a little away from the 1/6 world and I am not more taking a lot of pictures. Well, for me a cure of an obsession is ANOTHER obsession.
During the last months I am involved in enjoying the hi-fi world and one of my new obsession is about turntables and vinyl records.
The comeback to vinyl was not so linear. After buying an integrated amplifier, Advance Acoustic MAP-308, I have noticed there was a phono input and started to wondering the whole world behind that tag. Well, I decided to buy a new turntable and it was offered to me a Thorens TD-158.
After some listenings, unfortunately it was clear that the new turntable was inferior than my CD player and I have started to study an alternative.
Here in Brazil there is a lot of taxes and the prices of the product are very expensive. For this reason, in my opinion, I guess it is preferable to buy a vintage reformed turntable than a new one.
The first problem is where to find one and the second problem is who will do the job of refurbishing. After some readings in a brazilian Forum I found a senior technician able to do this work.
And here in my Thorens TD-125 MK II with a TP-16 tonearm.
The tonearm TP-16 is less famous than SME 3009 S2 or 3, maybe because it is not too glamorous, but it do a good job.
My first option of cartridge was the Denon DL-110.

When I have decided to collect 1/6 stuff I guess i was a movement to revisit my childhood. Well, now I am revisiting my teen ager period.

"Space, the Final Frontier!"
Intro
A long time ago in a galaxy far away...
Well, after some months without posting anything I have now some news. First of all, I guess the biggest problem for every collector can be resumed in only one: SPACE, THE FINAL FRONTIER.
The office in my apartment became over saturated of Action Figures, a problem of super-population (well, a problem not so big as the population of the Earth with 7 billion of inhabitants).
To solve my problem I have decide to move mostly of my Hot Toys Action Figures to my Living Room. After I have moved to my apartment I didn't buy furniture and sofas, because my priorities was the the room fo my children, kitchen etc. So, these months I decided to put a decent Home Theater in the Living Room and together with panel, I have decided to put an Expositor of my Action Figures.
It took a long time to make the design and to find a decent professional. Some stores asked me a lot of money and after a while I have found a great carpenter.
I confess that I waste a lot of time in other things which I couldn't keep the focus, but I guess was some good experiences.
To solve a problem of obsession, the solution could be another obsession, LOL!!!! These months I have discovered two new obsessions:
1) I have always have a dream of be an owner of a Single Lens Reflex Camera and I have bought a Nikon D-7000. My photos ins this site will be much better with this type of equipment.
2) My computer became very lazy and I have decided to move to Apple. At first I have bought an Ipad, which became an instant obsession. I waste my time playing a lot of games, like Angry Birds, Ninja Fruit and Plants vs Zombies. Then I have bought an Imac with a screen of 21,5". Apple and Steve Jobs became an obsession and I have read 4 books of Steve Jobs, which the last one is the Biography of Walter Isaacson in the digital format.
3) in planning the Home Theater I have decided to build a decent stereo system and I have discovered the Hi-End Audiophile World, where the limit is the size of your pocket. This type of world is against the Itunes world.
After my excuses, I can present now my new expositor at my home. Enjoy it!
